Tiddly Tuesday!! Challenge #38 - Monochrome

Good Tiddly Tuesday Y'all!!  Just popping in with another fun challenge this week!!!  We are challenging you to create a card that is MONOCHROMATIC!!  Meaning you must use all of the same color.  You may use different shades, tones and hues but you must stay within one color family!!  

I chose brown as my overall color scheme.  I colored and paper pieced All My Heart - Lilly Bean .  Such a gorgeous image.  I had a blast coloring her!!  

I started with basic chocolate brown for my 5.5" card base.  I then used the same music note DP for the background as I used to paper piece her heart.  I grabbed ivory DP that says 'i love you' all over it (scallops) and a scrap of Love, Elsie chocolate brown cupcake paper that I distressed.  I stitched them together and added a knot with SU! Early Espresso 5/8" grosgrain ribbon.  

I inked up a doily-esque stamp in Tim Holtz distressing ink in Vintage Photo and stamped up a tag to tuck behind my main image for added visual interest.  I stitched my main panel after lightly distressing the edges with the same TH ink.  

I added a few pearls in the corner for some further dimension and VOILA!  My monochromatic card!

I can't wait to see what y'all enter over at the TI Challenge Blog!!

See you there!!
